Big Speed Bump, PC related.
    #5436901 - 03/24/06 01:08 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

So my PC replacement O-ring came today, and I set out to replace the rotted old one in my used pressure cooker. Well during the time I did it a piece of the lip that holds the o-ring (note NOT the parts that hold the lid on) broke free...But in the end I got it cleaned regardless undecided as to what to do. So I go to put in the O-ring, and find out they sent me one that is too big and has lines for where to cut it down to fit my older model, ok, I think, don't these things shrink over time, won't this increase both risk and wear speed on my PC....

So, with a non perfect O-ring and a tiny chunk of lip missing do I dare fire her up? Should I instead opt to hit a lower pressure if I can even attain pressure? Its more like a very nice size pot as far as I can tell since the air tight seal is fucksered...Worst part is, I can't afford another PC atm....Damnable used crap on ebay, I think once I get through this grow and get my finances settled and my tax check back I'll look into a nice AA...but for now any ideas?

I just ran it to 5 lbs and it held and upon looking inside everything seems fine, I dont think it would last long but....I'm hoping it would hold out for one run hehe.

So run it low pressure (like 8 lbs-10lbs) or run it unlocked like a big pot?

I would be safe and just boil your jars in your PC. It sucks, I know, but the lady at Wal-Mart who rang a friend up when they bought their PC said her Mom blew the roof off her trailer because her PC was bunk. Luckily she wasn't around, or else a friend would be hearing about the second degree burns from the explosion :eek: I don't see a huge difference in 10 psi and boiling with sterilization.

So I'm doing what can only be called hybrid steaming lol. I lock the lid down let it start building pressure then down the heat a bit and then up then down then up then down lol figure I'll let em go for 2.5-3 hours that way and pray from there.

Does that PC have a safety release valve?

If it sealed enough to hold 5lbs it will probably work for you. The only time I have heard of PC's doing anything really dangerous like BLOWING UP was when the steam release vent got clogged. That's why most PC's have the safety valve. The only way I can see that steam release valve getting blocked (as long as it's not clogged when you start) in this hobby is if your using mycobags. (That's why when people use them they put a jar lid or a plate inside to hold the bags down)

The fact that something broke off is scary but I don't know what part exactly it is that your talking about.

Be careful and search the sites for PC problems. There are some nasty photos of a PC that blew up on a guy and his mom. His hand had 2-3rd degree burns with puss bubbles almost 1/2 inch high. That and it Fucked up there kitchen raining burning grain all over the place and sending the lid through the ceiling. LOL

I have been using it all night fully locked, its like a super pot. It gets maybe lbs pressure. I am using fractional sterilization as outlined by a member who I trust implicitly. And a friend is sending me a new PC for only the cost of shipping.

I'll fractional sterilize this WBS, and my soaking RYE, and call it a hurdle, my first, that I shall overcome.

Every good success suffered the fear of failure.
